Coen's First Buddy : The Moose

It looks like Coen has made his first buddy. Around 4:45 PM today (01/05/07) we went up to the NICU to see our man and the nurse mentioned that he had barely fallen asleep. She mentioned that he had been awake for 30 minutes checking out his Moose stuffed animal. She said that his eyes just kept staring at the Moose and checking him out. Seeing as he is 1/2 Canadian thanks to his mom (but fortunately a full USA citizen with no immigration issues!), it makes sense that he would love the Moose. More pictures here.

Per the nurse, Coen continues to progress. They've given him some antibiotics to combat an infection they detected in his last bloodwork. The nurse said he appears to be feeling much better as a result of these antibiotics. He's doing better. Baby steps...
